Ihave received from you samples of fruit from state
farms with report No. 4936 (dated 22/8, 1919), and would
kindly ask you not to do this in future, not to send fruit,
etc., but to supply me with information as to how fruit,
etc., from state farms is distributed:whether it is given
to hospitals, sanatoria, children, where precisely it goes
and how much of it.How many state farms have you, what is
the composition of their managements, how many send in
reports, how many have sent and for what period, etc.?
